My plan is to spend a week just tracking food and exercise so that I have a realistic sense of what I am doing and then throttle back on the bad habits. However just the act of paying attention forces me to consider what I am doing or not doing. Two days now without going near the candy machine, for instance, cause I don’t want to have to figure out what those chocolate covered peanuts do to me.

Welcome back.
I do the same thing — the best thing for me is always keeping a food journal. There is nothing that shines the light on your real behavior like that… I think just knowing you’ll have to write it down really changes what you pick.
I like the one-step-at-a-time plan!
